There are some parts Id like to make a few copies of (tracks,tarps, bags, helmets etc.) I got myself some blue stuff to make a mold but wondering what would be the best resin for casting the parts. I tried using 2 part Miliput but it seems too brittle. Any alternatives?

Milliput is okay for bags , crates etc, but you really need to get a Polyurethane resin for thin parts like track ends, etc. If you are going to get resin, then just do all your casting with it as shelf life can vary..
Comes in powder and mix with water, no nasty smells or dirty containers to clean and I bet it may last a long time if well stored. On the other hand, the material resulting is a bit like plaster (but very fine), unlike traditional resin.
